Another response? This is great!

Should I write this (disregarding the
fact that I'm writing other fics right now)?

You should write what you're moved to write. If you're not moved to
write anything, then write anything you can write at all.

Ahh. Good advise.
 
 How's the idea?
Should I dump it?
My initial reaction was that it was an interesting idea; second

That's good.

reaction, it sounds really hard to write. I think it tampers with the
character relationships so much that it will be hard to focus on. Also,
Kuno's viewpoint is so narrow that it can kindly be called
self-deceptive (i.e. he really knows better), which means it will be
difficult to sustain.

Kuno's viewpoint? First-person viewpoints aren't my style.

Do you have any ideas?

I'd like to see the James Bond story. Which girl does Bond get at the
end? They're all too young for him -- unless you advance them to their
20's. I would go for either Shampoo (exotic, athletic) or Nabiki (smart,
seductive).  Which version of Bond are you using -- which actor, or is
it the Bond from the Ian Fleming novels?

I'm doing a character replacement. I swear, I'd never seen
that other Ranma/James Bond x-over until I announced my
plans to write my own. Bond = Ranma, and BTW, he gets
Girl #2 (as to which fiancee that correlates to, I'm not
gonna tell ^_^).
 
 Why am I rambling?

Because it's late at night?  That's why I do it.

Ahh. So true. Looks like I'm out of coffee. :(

Anyway (I seem to use that word a lot), I'm gonna post a
teaser for the 'fic that is of yet unnamed, but is not the
Ranma/James Bond x-over of mine' sometime in the next
week.
